USE A DESCRIPTIVE TITLE! Submissions that do not have descriptive titles will be removed.

Do not submit a title that includes something like "What is this?" You are in /r/whatisthis. That you want to know what something is is self-evident. Describe the thing to the best of your ability in the title.

This subreddit is for identifying objects of unknown make, type, or origin. If you have something and you don't know what it is, submit it here to find out.

To help us help you, please be sure to:

Post a clear, well-lit, in-focus, large format image

Small items should be photographed up close

Large items should be photographed from a proper distance enough to see the entire item

Manufacturer's markings help us immensely, even if they look like gibberish to you

You can typically locate manufacturer's markings on the bottom, base, or underside of an object

Production tags, inserts, or attachments such as a label or stamp also help us identify objects

This is not the place to buy, sell, or try to establish a monetary value, only for identification.

If there's a medical issue that concerns you to the point of posting about it online, you could try asking in /r/Health or /r/medical. But you should be seeking professional help, not amateur speculation. Our intent is to identify objects & items, not conditions, diseases, infections, or the like.

Posts will generally not be deleted unless they are spam or an egregious violation of community standards
